Has anyone else received a ridiculously long DSPP EMEA Newsletter in 
their email?

This arrived in the early hours of this morning; it was 187KB of HTML.
Pity the folks on dialup lines!

Included were Vol 4, issues 3 (June), 2 and 1 (January).

Issue 3 contained a URL to the same content on hp.com; that would have 
sufficed.

In addition, there was a 50K attachment  named 
europe_dspp_technical_newsletter_aug2002.htm. This broke MUNPACK, as the 
filename element is 40 bytes long, MIME truncated it to 39.

This was an Aug-2002 article dealing purely wityh HP-UX issues.

Needless to say, I am sending feedback to the relevant address.

Yes, several years ago.

That is when I stopped trusting them with anything other than a
Sneakemail address (which can be turned off).

Good luck. I have sent several e-mails to them asking that they either
send the newsletter in plain text or stop sending it to me. The latest
(only?, seems to be that some e-mails were simply ignored by them) reply
had something along the lines of "Too bad, to unsubscribe go to this
link." But there was too much HTML garbage around the link for me to
bother trying to extract it out. Maybe some day they will smarten up and
send out a on-line text only message saying "The latest newsletter is
available at http://..."
